Definitions

  • the invention relates to a high efficiency spool gas turbine gas generator according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a gas turbine gas generator is disclosed in EP-A-0 161 562 which forms the preamble of claim 1 and which is post published prior art pursuant to article 54 (3) for all designated contracting states.
  • a further gas turbine gas generator is known from US-A-4 244 191.
  • the cycle according to the present invention utilizes a substantially higher pressure ratio than conventional gas turbine engines. Since pressure ratio is one of the important factors contributing to efficiency, the cycle according to the invention will provide higher thermal efficiencies than existing turbine engines.
  • the mechanical strength of the radial inflow turbine is sufficient to allow operation of each of the centrifugal compressor stages at near optimum level in terms of specific speed resulting in an optimized overall compressor component.
  • the radial inflow turbine working under these conditions surprisingly operates at near its own optimum specific speed, resulting in an optimized gas generator.
  • the resulting high peripheral speed of the radial inflow turbine results in a lowering of the stagnation temperature of the hot combustion gases impinging on the turbine blades.
  • the turbine inlet temperatures can be raised to further increase thermal efficiency or the turbine component operating lifetime can be extended.
  • the gas generator overall pressure ratio across the first and second compressor stages is greater than about 20 : 1, and the first compressor stage pressure ratio is between about 6 : 1 and about 9 : 1, while the second compressor stage pressure ratio is between about 2 : and about 4 : 1.
  • each compressor stage ranges from about 0.65 - 0.85.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a gas turbine gas generator in accordance with the present invention.
  • Figs. 2A and 2B are schematic graphs showing the improvements in efficiency resulting from use of compressor components and turbine components matched to their specific speeds in a gas generator made in accordance with the present invention.
  • the gas generator of the present invention includes compressor means for providing an overall pressure ratio of greater than about 15 : 1 and having a double-entry centrifugal low pressure first stage with a pair of entrances and a single exit.
  • compressor means 12 including low pressure, first compressor stage 14.
  • First compressor stage 14 includes double-entry compressor module 16 having a compressor rotor 18 mounted for rotation by shaft assembly 20 and with twin, axially-opposed flow paths designated by arrows 22, 24, respectively.
  • First compressor stage 14 also includes surrounding housing 26 which defines a fair of flow-symmetric, axially opposed entrances 28, 30 for directing air to compressor blade assemblies 32, 34 on rotor 18.
  • An improved double-entry compressor especially suited for this application is disclosed in US patent no 4 530 639.
  • Double-entry compressor module 16 has a single, annular, radially directed compressor exit 36 operatively connected to a diffuser assembly 38.
  • Diffuser assembly 38 receives the high velocity air from exit 36 and converts the high velocity air to higher pressure, low velocity air for ultimate transmission to high pressure compressor stage 40 and then to combustor 60.
  • Diffuser assembly 38 could be replaced by a manifold assembly (not shown) designed to preserve a portion of the dynamic head of the air leaving exit 36.
  • a variable geometry diffuser apparatus which advantageously could be used in diffuser assembly 38 is disclosed in US patent no 4 573 868.
  • diffuser assembly 38 is provided with an annular plenum 42 for collecting the diffused air.
  • plenum 42 is flow-connected with cross-over duct 44 which, in turn, is flow-connected with the inlet plenum 46 of high pressure compressor stage 40 to be discussed in more detail hereinafter.
  • cross-over duct arrangements can be utilized including the construction detailed in EP-A-0 161 562, which construction offers additional structural and component performance benefits.
  • the compressor means includes a high pressure centrifugal compressor second stage positioned adjacent to the first stage compressor and having a single entrance and a single exit.
  • compressor means 12 further includes high pressure compressor stage 40 which is a single-entry radial compressor having a housing 48 defining compressor entrance 50 for receiving compressed air from inlet plenum 46.
  • the high pressure compressor housing 48 also defines second stage compressor exit 52 in flow communication with the combustor supply plenum 54 through second stage diffuser assembly 56.
  • High pressure compressor rotor 58 is positioned within housing 48 and is mounted for rotation on shaft assembly 20.
  • the compressed air flow path proceeds from the collection plenum 42 of the double-entry compressor module 16, through cross-over duct 44, to the high pressure compressor stage inlet plenum 46, past high pressure compressor rotor 58 and into combustor supply plenum 54.
  • the pressure ratios of the first and second compressor stages are selected such that the pressure ratio in the first, low pressure stage, is greater than about twice the pressure ratio of the second, high pressure stage. Additionally, the flow path dimensions of the first compressor stage are selected to provide a favorable specific speed consistent with the pressure ratio chosen for that stage, as will be explained in more detail hereinafter. As embodied herein, the overall compression ratio across both first and second compressor stages is greater than about 15 : 1, with the pressure ratio of first compressor stage 14 ranging from about 6 : 1 to about 9 : 1 and second compressor stage 40 pressure ratio ranging from about 2 : 1 to about 4 : 1. The relatively low second stage pressure ratio is intended to keep the specific speed (see discussion below) of the second stage as high as possible.
  • the typical inducer tip relative entrance Mach numbers at first stage compressor entrances 28, 30 are about 1.4 or greater and occur at the outer tips of the leading edges of blades 32, 34 during operation at rated power. Although greater than 1.0 Mach numbers will cause shocks to occur in the compressor inlet, these will be relatively weak, oblique shocks and will not seriously affect overall performance.
  • the present invention stems from a design philosophy where control of specific speed of the compressor components is more important than keeping low inlet Mach numbers. This is a departure from conventional design practice in the art.
  • N s The specific speed (N s ) is here defined as follows:
  • the gas generator includes combustor means operatively connected to the exit of the second compressor stage for receiving the compressed air and combusting fuel using the compressed air to generate combustion gases.
  • combustor means operatively connected to the exit of the second compressor stage for receiving the compressed air and combusting fuel using the compressed air to generate combustion gases.
  • two can combustors 60 are provided in flow-communication with plenum 54 through double-walled turbine inlet manifold 62 (only a single combustor is shown in Fig. 1). Any number of combustors can be used and also combustors of non-circular cross-section.
  • all the compressed air exiting second compressor stage 40 is channeled to combustor 60 via plenum 54 and between the walls of manifold 62.
  • the gas generator includes a single stage radial inflow turbine having an inlet and an outlet.
  • the turbine is operatively connected to directly drive the shaft assembly on which the compressor stages are mounted and is also flow connected to the combustor means for receiving at the turbine inlet, and partially expanding, the combustion gases.
  • gas generator 10 includes radial inflow turbine 66 with turbine rotor 68 having blades 70 with blade tips 70a.
  • Turbine 66 receives the hot combustion gases from combustor 60 through turbine inlet nozzle assembly 72 via turbine inlet manifold 62.
  • Turbine rotor 68 is directly coupled to shaft assembly 20 to rotate both rotor 58 of high pressure compressor stage 40 and rotor 18 of low pressure compressor stage 14.
  • EP-A-0 161 562 provides details of apparatus especially suited for shaft assembly 20.
  • the gas generator includes exhaust means flow connected to the turbine outlet for ducting the partially expanded combustion gases for further external work-producing expansion.
  • gas generator 10 includes manifold 74 operatively connected to receive the partially expanded combustion gases from turbine 66 for ducting, e.g., to downstream free power turbine unit 90 or free-jet propulsion apparatus 92 (Fig. 1A), to provide further work-producing expansion of the combustion gases exhausted from turbine 66.
  • Free power turbine unit 90 can have one or more individual stages (two stages are shown in Fig. 1).
  • Fig. 2 the specific speed curves for the two compressor stages and the radial turbine stage of a gas generator designed according to the invention are shown.
  • the gas generator has an overall pressure ratio of greater than 20 : 1, using a double-entry centrifugal compressor of about 9: 1 pressure ratio with inlet Mach number greater than 1.4, and a second stage, single-entry centrifugal compressor of about 3.5 : 1 pressure ratio (i.e. less than 50 % of the pressure ratio of the first stage).
  • the efficiency of the radial inflow turbine peaks near the efficiency peak of the two compressors stages when all are run together on the same shaft as part of a gas generator. This is denoted with regions designated "A" in Fig. 2 which encompass compressor specific speed ranges from about 0.65 - 0.85 and a radial inflow turbine specific speed range of about 0.50 - 0.75.
  • Regions "B” indicate that a second stage centrifugal compressor following one or more axial stages or a single-entry centrifugal compressor, as hypothetical alternative low pressure "first stages” made in accordance with the teachings of prior art high pressure ratio gas generators, would fall well below its optimum range.
  • Fig. 2 also shows that a radial inflow gas generator turbine would fall below its optimum if it had to be matched to a lower specific speed compressor section. Additionally, because all the rotating components of the gas generator flow path according to the invention run at high and optimum specific speeds, the physical dimensions of the rotors become small and inexpensive to produce. Also, the inertia of the rotor assembly becomes small, which will facilitate quick starts.
  • the double-entry, first stage compressor will provide twice the mass flow compared with a single-entry compressor of comparable dimensions. Under steady state operating conditions when the air is compressed in the first stage to design levels, the flow path geometry of the latter will accommodate the entire first stage compressed gas flow rate. During start-up, however, and before the first stage volume flow is reduced to the design level, the second stage compressor cannot "swallow" the larger-than- designed-for volume flow.
  • bleed duct 76 is connected to cross-over duct 44 to receive compressed air from first compressor stage 14 when valve 78 is activated during start-up.
  • Automatic controller 80 is shown controlling valve 78, but manual operation could be substituted for controller 80.
  • controller 80 One skilled in the art could readily select appropriate apparatus for providing the function of controller 80 given the present disclosure.
  • the bled air can simply be discharged to the atmosphere as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the stagnation temperature of the combustion gases impinging on the turbine blade tips 70a, and hence the metal temperature of the turbine is much lower (about 100 - 200° C iower) than in an axial turbine stage exposed to the same nozzle inlet temperature.
  • the high blade tip speeds of the radial inflow turbine in the present invention which are dictated by the compressor requirements, actually provide an additional benefit in terms of lower metal temperatures. This enables higher turbine inlet temperatures to be used which, together with the high pressure ratio of the present invention, result in a very low specific fuel consumption.
  • the high pressure ratio cycle of the present invention can provide high thermal efficiency at firing temperatures up to about 1200° C with current materials without introducing cooling in the turbine rotor. At this temperature level all current axial turbines need cooling.
  • gas generators according to this invention utilize pressure ratios well above 20 : 1, it could be desirable to cool the radial turbine or to use non-metallic materials for the rotor, since the efficiency would be further improved. Cooling could also be applied in order to increase specific power even if thermal efficiency would not be improved.
  • the gas generator depicted in Fig. 1 would ideally operate with an overall pressure ratio of about 20 : 1, produce an equivalent shaft power of about 500 kw with about a 1.8 kg/s (4.0 Ib/s) air flow and turbine inlet temperature of greater than about 1200° C (2200° F); have a thermal efficiency of about 35 %; and use a gas generator turbine expansion ratio of about 5.0 : 1. Turbine rotor speed would be approximately 92,000 rpm equivalent to a turbine blade tip speed of about 750 m/s.
  • the projected equivalent engine fuel consumption would be about 0.21 - 0.24 kg/kwh (0.35 - 0.40 lb/hp/h), which is comparable to gas generators in state-of-the-art recuperated gas turbine engines under development.
  • the specific weight of engines using the present gas generator is only about 10 % that of a comparable diesel engine.
